™

– Optimized for smooth, continuous digital video playback of up to

twelve simultaneous HD streams. SilkStream is compatible with the ATA streaming

command set so CE customers can use standard streaming management and error

recovery options.

IntelliSeek – Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise,

and vibration.

IntelliPower – A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms

designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance.

IntelliPark – Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads

during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag.

Preemptive Wear Leveling (PWL) – The drive arm frequently sweeps across the disk to

reduce uneven wear on the drive surface common to audio video streaming applications.
